« #Delaware #SuperiorCourt Judge Eric Davis announced Tuesday that he was appointing Delaware litigator John Elzufon to oversee the investigation into whether #FoxNews followed discovery demand.
Last week Davis sanctioned #Fox and its parent company #FoxCorp for not turning over evidence in a timely fashion. It was then that Davis acknowledged that he was considering a #SpecialMaster. On Tuesday morning, that's exactly what happened.»

wow: While we wait, a ruling from the judge has come through from earlier today: He has authorized a special master to investigate Fox relating to its handling of discovery, an issue he had raised at an earlier hearing.

#doj #fbi and all government departments that ignore #foia should have to pay out of their own budget for a court-appointed full-time special master to release documents. The #government is funded by #taxpayers Everything it does should be an open book unless specifically excluded by law.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over the dispute, issued an order Monday tossing out the case after a federal appeals court in Atlanta found she erred when she appointed an outside arbiter, or special master, to review the roughly 13,000 records retrieved by the FBI when it executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8.

Appeals court halts special master review of documents seized at Mar-a-Lago in major defeat for Trump

"The law is clear," the appeals court wrote. "We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so."

#InCaseYouMissedIt #News: US 11th Circuit #Court of Appeals resoundingly rebuked Judge #AileenCannon yesterday for setting precedent that would "defy our Nation’s #foundational principle that our law applies ‘to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank’”, shutting down #Trump's #SpecialMaster strategy.

The conservative Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which includes #Trump appointees, overturned the appointment of a #specialmaster and dismissed #Trump ‘s lawsuit against the #DOJ . This is a huge win for #justice and #theruleoflaw because the special master appointment, which impeded a federal investigation, set a dangerous #precedent . Another #celebration for justice this week.

Will Aileen Cannon be the first federal judge to appear on The Masked Singer or Dancing with the Stars? #SpecialMaster #Humor

An epic smackdown for Trump and his hand-picked Florida judge. Delivered by a panel of Trump-appointed justices, no less.

Goodbye #specialmaster and hello #taxes

Appreciate that the 3 judge panel (all #GOP appointees) of the 11th Circuit unanimously stopped the #SpecialMaster review of #MAL documents and, further, implied Judge Cannon can get fucked and is bad at legaling:

“It is indeed extraordinary for a warrant to be executed at the home of a former president – but not in a way that affects our legal analysis or otherwise gives the judiciary license to interfere in an ongoing investigation,” the court said.

To create that “special exception,” the 11th Circuit wrote “would defy our Nation’s foundational principle that our law applies ‘to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank.’”

MSNBC—The #11thCircuit Court of Appeals just dealt former President Donald #trump a serious legal blow, the opinion overturning Trump's request for a #specialmaster reads like a judicial #knockout punch.
The panel characterized some of Trump’s arguments as a “#sideshow.” But more than that, the panel concluded that the district court repeatedly “stepped in with its own reasoning”.

Good thread on today's appellate decision nuking Trump's #SpecialMaster

RT @mjs_DC@twitter.com

Here is the 11th Circuit decision ending the special master's intrusive reign over the DOJ's criminal investigation into Trump. The panel holds that Cannon's decision represented a "radical reordering of our caselaw" that violates the separation of powers. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23323310/221201-11th-c-vacate.pdf
